Ingredient-driven, globally inspired, and rooted in seasonal cooking. I focus on high-quality produce, bold flavor, and techniques that are both refined and deeply nourishing. I gravitate towards Eastern Mediterranean flavors and love to introduce clients to new ingredients, but I have a vast repertoire that covers many cuisines. For my personal health, my cooking is gluten-free (aside from the occasional croistini). If that is not your style - I promise you won’t notice:)

Absolutely! I develop a one-of-a-kind menu tailored for you and your guests. Let me take care of the shopping, cooking, serving, and cleaning, so you get to enjoy the experience and relax.

Step 1: We hop on a call to discuss what “the perfect meal” looks like for you and your guests. Do you have dietary restrictions or preferences? Foods you love or hate? Prefer plated or family-style? Let me know.

Step 2: I will develop a first draft of a menu for you, and we will workshop any revisions.

Step 3: I take care of all shopping and prep. On the event day, I will arrive at your home, rental, or event space 2 hours before the agreed food start time.

Yes! Learn basic knife skills, how to sear a salmon filet, or how to make beautiful galettes that will impress all of your friends. The possibilities of classes are endless and perfect for all skill levels. Either enjoy a fun in-home experience, or coordinate video cooking classes with friends from all over. Eating food you learned to cook from scratch never tasted better; you get to keep the memories, recipe notes, and leftovers.

I do! If you are looking for a chef to curate every meal for your family vacation, work trip, or celebration, I am your gal. I am currently based near Fayetteville, NC, but I will be moving to Alexandria, VA in Spring 2026. Please note that travel expenses will affect the final costs.

I am happy to make wine pairing recommendations, but I cannot legally provide alcohol. I have my Master’s Degree in Wine and Beverage Manangement from the Culinary Institute of America and I love to chat about pairings!

I offer tailored culinary consulting for restaurants and food brands when the project aligns with my expertise and approach. If you’re looking to refresh your menu or enhance the guest experience, let’s talk.

Absolutely. I love collaborating with brands and restaurants on recipe development and content creation. If you’re looking for elevated, approachable food content with real chef technique behind it, let’s chat.
